Explanation

Choice B is correct. It's given that during spring migration, a dragonfly traveled a minimum of $1,510$ miles and a maximum of $4,130$ miles between stopover locations. It's also given that $d$ represents a possible distance, in miles, this dragonfly traveled between stopover locations. It follows that the inequality $1,510 \leq d \leq 4,130$ represents this situation.

Choice A is incorrect. This inequality represents a situation in which a dragonfly traveled a maximum of $1,510$ miles between stopover locations.

Choice C is incorrect. This inequality represents a situation in which a dragonfly traveled a minimum of $4,130$ miles between stopover locations.

Choice D is incorrect. This inequality represents a situation in which a dragonfly traveled a minimum of $4,310$ miles and a maximum of $5,640$ miles between stopover locations.
